Have you ever wondered of converting a video post on Instagram to MP3 and think it is not possible? Today, I am happy to tell you that it is possible. In the past, when we see a video with good audio on Instagram, we can’t even download the video, not to talk of getting the audio. But thanks to numerous third-party online software, we can now download an Instagram video, and after downloading the video, we can use another software to extract the audio.
The only issue with getting a video post on Instagram to MP3 through downloading the video first is that it is a long journey. And if you are using an online video-to-MP3 converter, you would use a lot of data in uploading and downloading the content before getting the audio. So in this post, I will show you how to use two websites to convert IG video to audio.
How to Convert Videos on Instagram to MP3
1. Using IGMP3
IGMP3 is a website that is only dedicated to extracting videos from Instagram and turning them into MP3. According to the website, it is believed that a time will come when Instagram will have its own editing feature, which would allow users to incorporate music in posts. But, even before that happens, the developer of the website believe there are already interesting audios that come with some IG videos and people want to download the audio. And that was the reason the website was created.
Below is how to use the website to convert any video post on Instagram to MP3.
- Go to IGMP3 official website: https://igmp3.download/. On the website, you will see the description of its functionality and a box that ask you to paste the Instagram URL of a post
- Now go to Instagram to get the URL of the video you want to convert to audio. If you are on a computer, to get the URL of a post, click on the post and copy out the URL in the address bar. If you are on the IG app, tap on the video post, and then tap on the three, vertical dots at the top right-hand corner of the post – that brings out the options about the post. When the option shows, tap on Copy Link, and the URL of the video would be copied to your clipboard. The URL convention for Instagram posts is https://www.instagram.com/p/***********/, with the * symbol being random numbers and characters specific to a particular post by a particular user.
- After getting the video URL, paste it in the box provided on the IGMP3 homepage and click on GO and the Instagram to MP3 download page of the website would load. On the page, you would see the name of the video and the name of the uploader. You would also see the image that would serve as the cover art for the MP3 file, as well as the link to downloading the file as a video.
- Click on the button that says CONVERT VIDEO TO MP3, and the website will load another button that says Download MP3. The button will also carry the name of the uploader.
- Finally, click on the button to start downloading the MP3 file. Note, however, that if the uploader of a video file protects it and you want to download the Instagram video to MP3, that will be difficult for the website to do. Therefore, only use the website to download videos that aren’t protected.

Instagram to MP3: Frequently Asked Question about IGMP3

Sorry, iOS devices are not allowed to download anyhow files from the internet. So, the above steps on how to use the website to download IG video to audio wouldn’t work on your iPhone. The steps only work for PC and Android devices.
- Is it possible to download the IG post as video directly?

- Is IGMP3 free?
The website is free, and according to the developer, it will forever be free. As at the time of this publication, there is no advert on the website, meaning the developer isn’t making money from the platform yet. Maybe, in the future, they will add some ads so as to generate money to keep paying the hosting company or maybe they will ask for voluntary donations. Nobody knows how they will make money in the future, yet.
2. Using 4INS
Another way of downloading videos on Instagram to MP3 is through the use of a website called 4INS. The interface of the website looks almost the same as that of IGMP3 – perhaps the two websites are owned by the same person. On the homepage of 4INS, you would also see the box that asks you to paste the IG URL, as well as a short description of how to use the website.
At intervals, the website shows the IG posts that its users are converting to audio within the hour. But, unlike IGMP3, which doesn’t carry any ad, 4INS show banner ads.
The steps to downloading Instagram to MP3 on the website is as follow.
- Go to the 4INS website: https://4ins.top/
- On the homepage, locate the box asks your to Insert Post Link
- Then paste the URL to the IG video you want to download as MP3
